Ribadu Surrenders Senatorial Ticket To Gov Dankwambo

Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo, Gombe State

Mohammed Usman Ribadu,who is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Gombe North senatorial district, has surrendered his ticket to Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo.

He declared this at a rally on Thursday to welcome Dankwambo back to Gombe.

The governor had lost the PDP presidential ticket to former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, at the national convention in Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital.

Dankwambo scored 111 votes to finish 5th in the primaries.

Ribadu said he was stepping down to allow Dankwambo who he said is “more qualified to represent Gombe North at the senate”.

According to Ribadu, Dankwambo deserved to go to the senate because of his achievements in office.

Dankwambo had reportedly backed Ribadu to win the ticket in the event he lost the presidential primaries.
